Real Madrid Preview
Despite the difference in hierarchy and the history behind them, Real Madrid found it very difficult to reach the decisive match of the Supercopa de España. It was after an impeccable penalty shootout, in which their great kickers did not miss, that they were able to eliminate Valencia and position themselves to win the 33rd national cup of their trophy cabinet.
Lucas Vázquez, Eduardo Camavinga and Éder Militao left the game with various injuries, while those who were injured will have to be evaluated to find out if Carlo Ancelotti will be able to count on them in the final. They are Valverde, who suffered several knocks during the last match, and Dani Carvajal along with Ferland Mendy, who arrived at the semi-final with muscular problems. Lucas is ruled out, Militao will be present, while Camavinga is a doubt.
Probable lineup (5-3-2): Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Antonio Rüdiger, Ferland Mendy, Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Rodrygo, Karim Benzema, Vinicius Jr.
Betting on Barcelona
It is an ideal moment for Barcelona, who is the sole leader of La Liga. The last time the culé team, who has only lost one game in the league was crowned champion in this tournament was during 2018, in the unique final played in Morocco,
It was hard enough to eliminate Real Betis, who played very well. Despite being ahead twice on the scoreboard, the match ended by a score of 2-2 and had to be resolved on penalties, in which the blaugrana team did not fail and had their hero in Ter Stegen.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Marc-André Ter Stegen, Jules Koundé, Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen, Jordi Alba, Gavi, Sergio Busquets, Pedri, Ansu Fati, Robert Lewandowski, Ferrán Torres.
JefeBet Prediction
It is the most important derby in the world and anything can happen, but the mystique gives a plus to Real Madrid, which has players more accustomed to winning cups. That is why this will be a great match, with many goals, but it will be the Merengue who finally triumphs and lifts the trophy.
Prediction: Real Madrid wins by a score of 3-2
